Hindsight – is there an increasing reliance on the use of hindsight in valuations, if not should there be as a result of COVID-19?

On Demand Webinar

Hosted by HKA, the panel included Jonathan Humphrey (Moderator), Partner, HKA; David Saunders, Partner, HKA; Anneliese Day QC, Fountain Court Chambers; and James Rogers, Partner, Norton Rose Fulbright.

The panelists discussed issues of the use of hindsight in assessing damages or in valuations. Should the rules on hindsight be universally applied, or are there times when hindsight should or shouldn’t be considered? They looked at some recent judgements and presented the views of both counsel and those who sit as arbitrators.
